Description

The connected worker market size is expected to reach USD 58.00 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Connected Worker Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Component (Hardware, Software, Services), By Technology, By Deployment, By End Use, By Region; Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Connected workers are personnel empowered with digital tools and technologies that enhance real-time communication, operational visibility, and decision-making on the job. The integration of artificial intelligence and analytics into wearable and mobile platforms is becoming increasingly important as industrial enterprises prioritize agile, data-driven operations. This integration enables proactive task management, predictive insights, and context-aware alerts, allowing workers to operate more efficiently and respond to dynamic environments with greater accuracy and precision. Additionally, the shift toward intelligent digital assistance is transforming frontline roles into insight-driven, tech-enabled functions.

The adoption of immersive technologies, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), to enhance training and remote collaboration is driving market evolution. These tools are used to simulate real-world environments, enabling workers to gain hands-on experience, troubleshoot equipment, and receive real-time guided support. AR/VR applications are becoming increasingly central to workforce development strategies as organizations aim to upskill their employees and minimize downtime. This trend reflects a broader transformation in which digital augmentation plays a key role in improving productivity, safety, and knowledge retention across various industries.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
